Fatty lever causes insulin resistance and subsequent type-2 diabetes…
.Excess fatty acids, the production of which is induced by lipogenesis and fatty acid synthesis, as well as oxidated fatty acids, circulate in peripheral tissues, including liver and adipose tissue, where they accumulate, resulting in insulin resistance [29].
Yes, I've read about that connection too. I have fatty liver - non alcoholic, the readings are inconsistent though. Sometimes the AGT and other enzymes are normal, sometimes they go up. My first doctor said diabetes, fatty liver and cholesterol occur together. Does anyone know how to heal fatty liver?
Hi guru64 . Have you talked to your new doctor about the medication/diet for fatty liver? Did you check out the Fatty Liver and NASH group on HU? healthunlocked.com/fatty-li...
A healthy liver function can be disrupted with excess fat accumulation in the crucial organ. While some amount of fat is important for the functioning of a healthy liver, the problem begins when it gets too much and starts to cause severe damage to the liver. If not controlled it can eventually lead to liver failure or liver cancer. While fatty liver is mostly caused by heavy drinking and classified as alcohol-induced fatty liver disease, a growing number of people are now being diagnosed with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease that is caused by a number of factors from diabetes, obesity and unhealthy lifestyle. If your liver has a lot of fat and is not functioning efficiently you may feel lethargic, fatigued, feel a bit of pain in upper right abdomen. It is possible to reverse fatty liver diseases in many cases with healthy diet including lots of fruits, vegetables, and fibre among other things.
